Anyone listening to 24/196?

If so, what DAC are you using? The Benchmark can intake those signals, but it downsamples them to 110. The BelCanto can't take them. The Bryston BDA-1 is one of the few non-megabuck DACs that can take 192 as an input.

Anything else under 3k?

From Bryston materials: "The CS-4398 operates in one of three oversampling modes based on the input sample rate. Single-speed mode supports input sample rates up to 50 kHz and uses a 128x oversampling ratio. Double-speed mode supports input sample rates up to 100 kHz and uses an oversampling ratio of 64x. Quad-speed mode supports input sample rates up to 200 kHz and uses an oversampling ratio of 32x."

what happens if you put it on an ipod/itunes? Will it downconvert file to 16/44k?

ps audio perfect wave transport and dac will process the hi resolution format available from reference recordings. this format is in the form of a dvr output at 24/192.

i am not convinced that the format itself sounds better than a well recordede redbook cd.

All the time. I download them from HD Tracks and play them on my Blacknote DSS which accepts the format.

Frequently. My computer system is a MacBook Pro, Weiss Firewire DAC202, and Ultrasone Edition 8 headphones. I use either Amarra or Pure Music. I've downloaded several 24/192 files from a number of sights, such as Linn Records, for example. They sound wonderful.
